About Us Issues Our Work Get Involved News & Events
 

The first organization of its kind, the Women’s Bioethics Project (WBP) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute dedicated to ensuring that women’s voices, health, and life experiences are brought to bear on ethical issues in health care and biotechnology.
 
The Women's Bioethics Project will be focusing its work on three main issue areas: neuroethics, women's health, and reproductive technologies.  
 
Today’s emerging biotechnologies are rapidly changing our world. As our society races to absorb significant change, women’s voices and experiences are not adequately represented in bioethical debates, public policy decisions, or academic research.
 
Under the fiscal sponsorship of the Women’s Funding Alliance, WBP is a qualified nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
